No matter how much time you have in an experience or with someone you love, it will never feel like enough. So don’t think about it in terms of quantity—aim for quality, instead. Attach to the idea of living well moment-to-moment. That’s an attachment that can do you no harm. ~Lori Deschene

We are all constantly evolving and growing. Define yourself in terms that can withstand change. Defining yourself by possessions, roles, and relationships breeds attachment because loss entails losing not just what you have, but also who you are. ~Lori Deschene

Learn what it looks like to grasp at people, things, or circumstances so you can redirect your thoughts when they veer toward attachment. When you dwell on keeping, controlling, manipulating, or losing something instead of simply experiencing it.. ~Lori Deschene

It’s true—tomorrow may not look the same as today, no matter how much you try to control it. A relationship might end. You might have to move. You’ll deal with those moments when they come. All you need right now is to appreciate and enjoy what you have. It’s enough.. ~Lori Deschene

Don’t try to turn it into yesterday; that moment’s gone. Don’t plot about how you can make the moment last forever. Just seep into the moment and enjoy it because it will eventually pass. Nothing is permanent. Fighting that reality will only cause you pain. ~Lori Deschene

Karma is the law of cause and effect which governs all phenomena.
We are all where we find ourselves because of karma -
because of actions we have performed in the past.
The universe is such a balanced instrument that any act
immediately sets corrective forces into action.

About Me

Catmasutra cat art is a painting celebration of the world’s most popular pet. Featuring the exquisite images of popular cat artist, Paul Koh, this unique and original cat art collection captures the charm, nonchalance, and cheekiness of the quintessential cat, unravelling the deep philosophical astuteness of its free-spirited nature. By painting quirky and exquisite little caricatures of his cats, Paul literally teleports cat lovers into little pockets of laughter and joy. His Catmasutra cat paintings are based on the essence of his two cats Halo and Angel (a ginger tabby and a Russian Blue) and crystallized into the Catmasutra cat, with its trademark ‘eyes-wide-closed’ and ‘ear-to-ear’ grin” symbolizing a deep-seated childhood innocence cum devil-may-care bravado!
